Biography
Kutlu Yetis was born on 8 April 1865 in Eskisehir, Turkey, Ottoman Empire to a family of Sunni Muslim Turks. Yetis opened his own coffee business and invested in other stores, becoming a big businessman with a large net worth of what would now be $2,500,000 USD. He was a member of the Committee of Union and Progress (CUP), as he agreed with imperialism in the empire so that he could gain access to more types of coffee for him to sell. Due to his status as one of the Young Turks, he was targeted by the Armenian Revolutionary Federation (ARF), which engaged in Operation Nemesis, tracking down Turkish officials whom they blamed for the Armenian Genocide. Yetis had no direct connection to the genocide, but his loyalties were his doom. Yetis travelled to Rome, Italy in 1921 on a business trip, but it would be a one-way flight. On 18 June 1921, Yetis was shot several times by Hrayr Kezerian as he was pulling out of his parking spot in front of an Italian coffee shop, and he died of his wounds on the street. He was the last soft target that was assassinated by Kezerian's crew.
